1t is very much to be desired tha

It is very much to be desired that
the age of consent in young men shall
be raised to twenty-one years. If
women are to be made the equal of
man in every particular-if they are to
vote. to hold seperate property, to take
the name of their husbands only in
case they are to be put on perfect
legal and other equality with man,
then by all means put man on an equal
lty with woman. In fully half of the
cases of female seduction, SO called, it
is the man who is seduced, and the
time has come when our sons are to be
protected against the wiles of design
ing woman and girls.
